You can do 32Q plus 2 OFDM blocks as well. But who has that kind of spectrum, we surely don’t. A 96Mhz block maybe. But you can’t take the total at 100G and say that’s beyond your scale, you don’t run at full saturation do you? :) And in order to run DCAM2s you’ll have to upgrade the RSMs to

16 connectors per DCAM2 times 6 cards is 96 DS service groups in a chassis. At ~1.2 Gbps per connector (using 32 SC-QAM DOCSIS 3.0 channels) that's ~ 100gigabits per chassis. Quite a bit above my scale ;- ) The E6k can also do DOCSIS 3.1, which we use today, though I'm not sure what the

E6K using gen 1 DCAMs can do about 32 service groups give or take, not that hard to get to a point with splits where you want to go past those numbers. Gen 2 DCAMs double that by going to 16 connectors compared to 8. cBR8 is less than the E6K. The point of node splits is to lower customers per

Aaron, I was thinking something similar. I've never once had a node split require moving a customer to a different CMTS. Even the very old and (relatively) low capacity 7200 VXR could serve several nodes per line card and supported several line cards per chassis. Newer cBR8, E6k, and the like

We have a provisioning system (promptlink) that we use to map cable modems to their static ip addresses. The provisioning system has a gui front end and it sits on linux and also acts as a dhcp server, etc. This is the same ip address that we use for cable-helper (like ip-helper on a cmts bundle

Hi, In my previous job, we managed static IPs by implementing L2TP tunnels between CPEs and central Juniper LNS. It wasn't very elegant (at least for mtu, MSS clamping), but the design was done around 15 years ago :) BR Pierre Le ven. 8 mai 2020 à 00:58, Bryan Fields a écrit : > On 5/7/20
